One thing we now know for sure: Energy drinks are not the right drink to celebrate a cup win.

Of course, since Kevin Kampl dumped the club owner's product in the DFB Cup, RB Leipzig hasn't received much scorn for purely culinary reasons.

Now, many people with well-developed senses find the stuff in the blue can basically tasteless anyway.

But the question still arises: What do winners drink from their trophy, in proper style?

And, perhaps more importantly, how does it taste when you drink from it?

We don't want to repeat what Eintracht President Peter Fischer reported about the taste experience of the European Cup on the night of victory when he "drank from it".

Let's put it this way: It was uncomfortable.

And let's take his statement that no soda can have been in the cup.

Might have been a better choice.

Silver, fire-gilt, decorated with precious stones

Because the European Cup is the heaviest thing you can win in football at 15 kilos - but unfortunately only with silver.

Neither sponsored beer nor champagne survives unscathed, especially not when the trophy has passed through many hands in good condition.

The DFB trophy, on the other hand: silver, fire-gilded, decorated with precious stones.

Well, the latter does nothing for the taste.

But it would certainly have been more pleasant on the tongue if the festive Eintracht gentlemen would have gotten gold for their alcoholic drink inside.

Is there an entry somewhere?

If you promise never to drink soda out of the cup?
